TSB67 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not possible... They'd have a .0000 spring rate or something ridiculously light rated.Only if the bike was weightless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 So, do you want to know why the clickers are there and what they are intended for? I can try and help with that when I get back.Suspension is a black magic thing, also... Realize that there are a shit load of guys with millions of pieces of data in their heads. It can get pretty deep if it goes too far in terms of technical.I can explain to the best of my knowledge in a layman's type of way...This would be absolutely awesome as I think this is excellent information to know. To be completely honest, if you told me to even point to the clickers I could probably take a guess but I wouldn't be confident and it kills me to not know at least the basics.Its really only been 18 months of experience with motorcycles but because of this site and guys like yourself willing to explain things dumbed down for me I've come a long way since knowing absolutely nothing. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Here is a great watch ion tire wear for primarily the guys at the track days, but will give some real world insight as to what the clickers do and the results. This is educational to street guys also in an effort to understand what the adjustments do. Yes, extreme for the street guys, but the results are still going to show to a degree...http://www.onthethrottle.com/howto/dave-moss-unsprung-tire-wear/Here is a vid that talks tires and PSI. Another good thing and not really suspension, but great info that is talking about numbers and such...http://www.onthethrottle.com/howto/rerun-dave-moss-unsprung-tires/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Picked this up for bathroom reading:http://www.amazon.com/Sportbike-Suspension-Tuning-Andrew-Trevitt/dp/1893618455Seemed to simplify everything well enough. why's, how's, etc...Now if I can just come up with 2 friends, I should be able to get mine set.

Moto-Brian Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Picked this up for bathroom reading:Amazon.com: Sportbike Suspension Tuning (9781893618459): Andrew Trevitt: BooksSeemed to simplify everything well enough. why's, how's, etc...Now if I can just come up with 2 friends, I should be able to get mine set.That and a few other links posted are running some older school ideas and needs to be watched for guys with newer machines. The reason is that the newer bikes have had some really aggressive chassis changes in the last 5 years. That being said, this is a great read for knowledge sake and less for setting up your bike if something is 2005 and newer... Especially if it is 2006/7 and newer...The current genie bikes need a lot of trail and need things done differently than it was done just 5 years ago. Some current model bikes are still using older chassis geometry specs, but anything sport related is being done differently...Not a bad thing to read at all. In fact, I'd recommend it for base knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say it's a lot to take in but it DEFINITELY helped when I was at the track. Knowing the wear patterns of my tires helped me make the right changes to the suspension.EVERYONE should watch the videos by Dave Moss IMO.
